The document describes a new concept implemented for a wave soldering line that uses continuous in-line processing. It utilizes selective and universal adjustable pallets that components can be inserted directly onto. Each pallet is self-identifying based on its barcode and automatically sets the profile. This allows different pallet setups to be on the conveyor at the same time without needing buffers. Benefits include no buffers waiting for wave soldering, dramatically reduced component placement failures, increased work efficiency from direct connection between insertion and wave processes, and increased availability for maintenance.
